Chapter 100 Cruel and Realistic Words
Lin Shutang took a sip of coffee, the cold bitterness hitting her taste buds. She hadn't eaten anything that morning, so her stomach was empty, nothing at all.
Such a cold stimulation made her stomach churn instantly, as if something was surging in her throat.
He stood up and rushed into the bathroom. Jiang Qinyuan followed him worriedly and saw Lin Shutang lying on the sink, retching but not vomiting anything.
Lin Shutang rinsed himself, took the tissue handed to him by Jiang Qinyuan, wiped the water off his face, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."
Looking at Lin Shutang's face, which was paler than before, Jiang Qinyuan asked, "Are you sure? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No, just go back and rest for a while."
"Okay then. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself to go to the hospital."
"good."
When Lin Shutang was leaving the bathroom, someone came in. He bumped into her shoulder and the list in her bag fell to the ground.
Jiang Qinyuan bent down and was about to help her pick it up, but she saw Lin Shutang had already quickly picked up the things and put them into her bag.
"What is this? It's so mysterious?"
Lin Shutang: "Nothing, just a work document."
Back at Luyuan, Lin Shutang called Li Yansheng several more times. No one answered his WeChat calls, nor did his phone calls. He only received an automated reply: "I'm in a meeting and can't answer the phone. Please leave a message if you have any questions."
Lin Shutang has received more than ten such replies.
She closed her phone and lay on the bed, her mind full of everything that had happened before. Lin Shutang wanted to go over and ask Chen Jinyao, but in what capacity? No matter how she thought about it, it seemed inappropriate.
Lin Shutang received a message from Li Yansheng one morning a few days later. Zhang Wanxin called her and said that Li Yansheng had recently encountered some problems and needed to resolve them, so he had not contacted her. She told her not to worry and not to worry too much.
The other party couldn't see her expression, but Lin Shutang still smiled and said yes. After hanging up the phone, her smile immediately faded. Later, she sat on the sofa for the whole morning without moving a step.
I didn't have time to contact her, but I had time to ask the Chen family to pass on those words to her.
There were some things that Lin Shutang didn't want to delve into, but he couldn't help but wonder whether this already disgraceful relationship had finally come to an end.
At night, Lin Shutang received news from the Feng family again. This time, it was Feng Chengchuan who contacted her personally. He didn't say anything, only a video.
Lin Shutang clicked on it and saw a picture of her grandfather being pinned down on a bed and receiving an injection. He looked thinner than in the previous photo.
Lin Shutang's hands couldn't stop shaking. After a long while, he finally dialed Feng Chengchuan's number: "Where is my grandpa?"
Feng Chengchuan chuckled: "There is no free lunch in this world."
Lin Shutang knew what he meant, took a deep breath and said, "Li Yansheng is not here now."
"Oh, Shutang, do you really think your uncle will believe your excuse? If you really wanted to help the Feng family, you wouldn't have waited until now."
After a while, Feng Chengchuan changed his tone and spoke again: "I know that you and Li Yansheng haven't been in touch for a long time. You don't have to use this excuse to stall me anymore. Shutang, with his family background, he's just playing with you. If you take it seriously, it won't be appropriate. Your aunt's friend has a son who is about your age and is an international student. You should be able to chat with him. He will be back in two weeks, so you should prepare to meet him. Put aside those unrealistic ideas."
These words are cruel, but realistic.
